Certain television shows have built up such a loyal fan base that they are actually said to have a cult following. Such is the case with One Tree Hill, which filmed in Wilmington from 2003 to 2012. The CW show focusses on the relationship between two half-brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott. In the early season the boys start out as enemies but as the years go by a bond develops between them.
Even though the show was never a main street hit, it did build a loyal following… and this month OTH fans will be flocking to Wilmington to pay homage to the program, the characters, and the famous locations.
